A small sheet iron tray with a view of Bad Homburg

With a label reading "Das Schloss zu Homburg vor der Höhe" on the underside. H 2.2, W 30.9, D 24.8 cm.
Koblenz, attributed to Schaaffhausen & Dietz, mid-19th C.

Following the example of Johann Heinrich Stobwasser's successful manufactory, other manufacturers also produced tinware such as this to be decorated in lacquer. In Koblenz, Schaaffhausen & Dietz established a tinware factory in the Alte Burg. They are considered the oldest lacquerware factory in the Rhineland.
